Ioana Briceag: From unemployed to working for a Chartered Accountants Firm

"I found it very hard to get a job after I graduated from University because I did not have work experience and I decided that a professional training course would be very helpful. I enrolled on the Executive PA Plus Diploma with Pitman Training Canterbury, managing to update my existing skills and learn so many new ones, from touch-typing, audio-typing to book-keeping, Sage, Microsoft Office packages to expert level and more, skills that employers are really looking for in all the job adverts.

I started applying for jobs while I was still undertaking my course and was invited to many interviews, thanks to the help I received from Dawn at Pitman Training, helping me create a CV that would be looked at well from an employer’s point of view, also the reference Dawn gave me also helped me being offered a great job. I decided to accept the offer from a Chartered Accountants Firm for the Secretary and Accounts Assistant position. They were very impressed with my qualifications and appreciated Pitman Training name on my CV as it is so well recognised.

I know that I obtained the job that I have today thanks to Pitman Training qualifications. I really enjoyed doing this Diploma and I feel that I progressed so much in the last year, all thanks to the helpful staff, especially Dawn for all her help and encouragement!

I can safely say it has made a positive difference to my future, I would highly recommend Pitman Training Canterbury to anyone thinking of taking this type of course!
